SIDEFLOW
Optimize logistics processes and digitize transport documents

Intelligent workflow instead of resource-consuming confusion. SIDEFLOW simplifies all tasks required for the economic provision of (hazardous) bulk goods. The cloud-based software solution optimizes communication between transporter and loading point and thus makes a decisive contribution to paperless documentation as well as autonomous product handling.

Challenges
in the Dangerous Goods Transport and Documentation

When it comes to the transport of dangerous goods (also known as ADR transport) and its documentation, companies from different industries are constantly faced with new challenges. Transporters such as freight forwarders or trading companies with their own fleets must comply with legal requirements. Loading points such as shipping companies, asphalt plants or refineries have no choice but to ensure smooth product handling. This is associated with a high level of personnel expenditure.

  • Time-consuming administration of all documents

  • Language barriers for international shipments

  • Manual safety checks are prone to errors

  • Unstructured processes slow down the loading process

  • Carrying numerous documents

  • No overview of internal logistics processes

Logistics processes in the digital age

SIDEFLOW was developed by VTA Software & Service GmbH - the German market leader when it comes to the contemporary design of digital logistics processes. And which, as part of the Critical Infrastructure, meets the highest IT security requirements. Our software contains not only an enormous wealth of experience, but also a deep knowledge of our customers' business processes. It is no wonder that many large fuel handling sites already trust our customized SaaS solution. SIDEFLOW has established itself as a central exchange platform for data relating to the transparent, efficient and secure distribution of (hazardous) bulk goods. The cloud-based, modular software can be accessed on any end device suitable for the environment as well as being open for interfaces in all directions.

  • Agile software development. SIDEFLOW is tailored to your logistics processes, improved in phases and introduced to your company in manageable steps

  • Fast data flows. Once captured and uploaded, important documents such as ADR bills, loading bills or truck data are available to every approved user within seconds.

  • Data security. We operate our systems according to an ISO/IEC 27001 certified Information Security Management System (ISMS).

  • Save time and reduce costs. Automate processes, eliminate errors and replace paper-based procedures - the investment in our software will have paid off for your company in no time at all

  • Reduce language barriers. If your drivers speak a different language than the loading point, there will be no delays due to documents exchanged in advance
